I hate reality tv, it's so dumb (to me), and I think that there's entirely too much of it on tv. Thank God for cable.

What's in bold is freaking hilarious!

People who take their shoes off at work. I have to share my office, so I'm kinda sensitive about this. It's not my problem your shoes aren't comfortable. I don't want to smell your corn chip stank. Put your shoes on.

self-righteous people who always bring up controversial topics, like politics or religion

*People who talk about money all the time (either how much they have or how broke they are.) I was brought up not to really discuss that so it's always really awkward.

*I really don't care if you're going to be late, but it bugs me if you don't call/text/somethng to let me know and I'm just waiting for you.

*Comments about what another person is eating and its caloric content or something else. Ex: I have a vegan super healthy co-worker who asked me the other day if I knew how many calories were in my Pumpkin Spiced Latte. My internal response? More than all the fucks I give.

*Weight-related comments. Especially of the "You're so skinny! do you EVER eat?" variety. I'm tempted to answer "Just on Wednesdays" to someone and see how they react.

*Bring their children into restaurants, particularly ones that are not child friendly.

*People who are unable to go anywhere or do anything without their significant other. Even worse, they take on ALL of their SO's hobbies and interests.

People who misuse words, especially when they're trying to come off as being intelligent.

People who stop at a stop light leaving almost 2 car lengths between them and the car in front of them.

People who eat during meetings because they can. (Similarly, people that chew with their mouth open, making smacking noises and also spitting bits of food particles everywhere.)

People who have an office, yet do not close their door when they decide to take all of their calls on speakerphone. Yes, we get it. You're important.

People that speak unprofessionally in the office or in meetings. ("And, like, so this guy from such-and-such came up here, and whatever, and like totally said that he would like do that thingy, which is like AWESOME, cause I don't wanna like do it, ya know?") (I heard that gem in the office today.)

PEOPLE WHO TYPE LIKE THIS. or lyk thisssssssssss.

People that charge into elevators before I've had the chance to get off, and then give me a look or a huff when I excuse myself to try and get by.

ETA: People blame everyone in this area for being bad drivers- DC drivers cause they don't drive often so are just bad all around, MD drivers because they are CRAZY in speed/no turn signal/cutting people off, and VA for never knowing where they're going. C'est la vie.

People that walk down a sidewalk (or hallway, in the mall, etc) 3 to 4 people across so you can't get by.

My neighbors who never mow or do anything else to their lawn (despite having 3 middle school- and high school-aged boys), so that when we pick up our leaves, theirs blow into ours within a couple of hours, and when we spend weeks trying to eradicate crabgrass, the spores from their full-lawn crabgrass makes it a waste.

Yes, yes, yes.

I had one co-worker who would be on a conference call and leave the door open and the speakerphone on full blast while he went to the bathroom. Funny how when he came back, he would always find his door closed. (He's lucky he didn't also find the phone hung up for him.)

Yep. That, and for me, it's people who use words to make themselves look intelligent, or more intelligent than someone else, when in reality, they are beyond ignorant and stupid (even if they do have a strong vocabulary). I won't even get into any dialogue with morons like that.

eta: When people blame other people for their bad situation or problems. Ex: Blaming an ex because it didn't work out. Complaining because you're in a bad relationship. Blaming someone else for your troubles ignoring the fact that you decide what you allow or disallow.

People who are pompous pricks ( I won't get into any dialogue with people like that, either).

*Sanctmonious types who make a big deal out of not having/watching TV and/or cable (I dunno if this is just a hippie town thing, but I hate it.) I get it. I'm vapid and a idiot because I like TV.

*Sanctivegans or sactivegetarians (term coined by one of my friends.) You know, those people who go out of their way to talk about it all the time and put down others for their food choices. I get it. I am going to die tomorrow because I ate grilled chicken on my salad. You, however are a shining beacon of all that is healthy with your PB&J and Easy Mac for lunch.

*People who put people down to make themselves feel better about their circumstances. Ex: Relative has a GED and multiple babydaddies. Therefore she makes fun of me for being a "forever student." It's perfectly okay for her to ask "when are you ever going to be done with school?" But if I ask "when are you going to stop procreating and collecting welfare?," I'm being snobby/elitist/rude.

*People who make their every emotion known on FB. Awkward.

*People who have to relate every single statement someone makes in a conversation to THEMSELVES.

Ex: Me and a friend talking about books we like.
Guy: "I published 3 novels, blah blah blah."

Yes!!!

(And I'm using your "Just on Wednesdays" comment. lol)

I also hate when I say, "I need to work out," and people will roll their eyes and say, "Yea, whatever.. I'm sure you do.." or, "Can you even afford to lose another pound?" Um, I didn't say I needed to lose 50 pounds.. I simply said I need to work out. Thin people need some kind of physical activity in their lives, too.

It annoys me when, in the grocery store, people park their carts in the middle of the aisle while reading labels/searching for specific products/etc... I'm all for reading labels and spending time to see what's available, but c'mon. Move your cart to one side or the other so other carts can fit through.

TPA85 · #13 11-17-2011, 06:58 PM

When people who aren't passing, or even going the speed limit, are in the passing lane on the highway.

MOVE OVER!!!!

Maybe it's the teacher in me but I hate hearing/seeing a person refusing to set boundaries with their children and just allowing them to be a brat.

Ex: seeing a 4th grade-ish girl have this conversation with her mom in the school supply aisle of Target.

Kid: I want the glittery folders.
Mom: Oh honey, those are $4. I don't think so. These plain ones are $2.
Kid: Please!!!!!
Mom: No.
Kid: *tears* OMGGGGGGG. I hate you. You like never let me have anythinngggggggg.*stomp*
Mom: *sigh* okay.
Kid: Thanks mom!!!!

UGH.

BWAHAHAHA! My soon to be 6 year old tries to pull this shit all the time. I tell her she can buy stuff with her own money, or ask Santa for it. Thankfully she never throws a "fit" but she does get whiny. The "LOOK" usually shuts her up. I can deal with the resulted sulking.
